Topaz "Mystic"

-What is your favorite color?

- RAINBOW!

A. Saint-Exupery “The Little Prince”

Rainbow is a natural phenomenon that pleases the eye and delights people, regardless of their age and gender. But she appears to us so rarely. Similar emotions are evoked by the “mystic” topaz stone, which has multi-colored tints of color from pale yellow to emerald green and sky blue. One look at the mineral and the heart of the person who sees it falls in love with the gem forever.

History and origin

The history of the origin of the “mystic” topaz stone is quite well known. Its production and cutting was initially undertaken by the company Azotic Coating Technology Ink, which back in 1993 patented the technology for producing an attractive gem.

The secret is that a thin titanium film is sprayed onto already faceted colorless topaz, quartz or cubic zirconia. Subsequently, the gem is exposed to very low temperatures. Due to this, from two to five iridescent shades of the mineral are obtained.

At the same time, the overflows are clearly visible both in artificial lighting and in daylight.

• The mineral, which is not characterized by shine and a bright hue, suddenly sparkled with a blue tint with an iridescent sheen.

Physicochemical characteristics

Mystic is produced only on the basis of natural gems, which have an almost ideal structure. Consequently, it repeats all the properties of natural stone.

Mystic has the properties of classic topaz:

1. high hardness (eight points on the Mohs hardness scale),
2. density on par with diamonds,
3. ease of jewelry processing.

Varieties and colors

The gem stands out because it has one base color and rainbow tints over the entire surface. The main color depends on what natural mineral was used for processing.

To achieve the most rainbow shade, a green, purple or colorless mineral is usually taken.

Technological secrets

The production method for mystic differs from the heat treatment of topaz.

We recommend: RUBY - the stone of fatal passions

Typically, topaz is treated with radioactive radiation, which helps achieve a bright, rich color.

To obtain a mystic, a different manufacturing technology is used:

1. After polishing and cutting the topaz, its surface is coated with titanium or gold - this results in an iridescent rainbow color.
2. Spraying is followed by low-temperature treatment, which fixes the top layer on the mineral.
3. Depending on the intensity of spraying, the shade and intensity of the overflow changes.

This method of processing the mineral does not harm the original structure of the stone.

Application

This variety of topaz, called “mystic,” looks good in jewelry, be it necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets. Modern craftsmen, using professional cutting and subsequent polishing of the mineral, manage to create real jewelry masterpieces.

“Mystic” topaz has great jewelry value if it is found in gold or titanium. But here it is worth considering that if the jewelry is worn carelessly, the iridescent film on top of the mineral suffers. Then the topaz will already look faded, and the metal will remain expensive. This is why craftsmen prefer to work more with silver when using “mystic” topaz. In this case, the natural darkening of the metal and the play of mineral shades in silver will be as organic as possible. Moreover, if the master skillfully combined the segments of the decoration with the rainbow tints of the mineral, the product will be guaranteed unprecedented success.

By the way, world fame went to the world’s largest “mystic” topaz with the name “Braganza”.

This stone in the crown of the Portuguese ruler was shaped like an egg and shone so brightly in the sun that it was mistaken for a real huge diamond.

The weight of the gem reached 328 grams (1640 carats). It is noteworthy that this stone was found in Brazil and was mistaken for a diamond. That's why we used it as the main one. Today, a large collection of mystical minerals can be seen in Dresden, in the Green Cellars.

How to spot a fake

In order to distinguish non-original (artificial topaz) from a real mineral when purchasing, you should take into account the following features:

1. Topaz electrifies very well. Therefore, you can rub it lightly and pay attention to the appearance of static electricity. But the seller does not always allow this, since frequent friction causes the iridescent film on the stone to deteriorate.
2. The mineral is only 2 units inferior in hardness to real diamond. And, it seems, it was possible to hit the gem, but the sellers will not allow this either.
3. Topaz has a decent weight. This is perhaps the only parameter by which the authenticity of a mineral can be determined. The weight of the gem is due to its high density, which is several times higher than that of other semi-precious and especially artificial stones. The density of “mystic” topaz is approximately 4 g/cm3. Therefore, the gem also has a less popular, but well-known name in Rus' - “heavyweight”. When purchasing jewelry with “mystic” topaz, pay attention to the weight of the product. To distinguish the original from a fake when purchasing, take approximately the same jewelry in your hand, but with cubic zirconia, zirconium or another mineral.
4. The brand of the jewelry house and the retail outlet itself are also a guarantee that the mineral is real. It is unlikely that street stalls will sell real gems, while well-known jewelry houses and jewelry stores will not spoil their reputation with petty fraud.

SELECTION AND CARE

Buying a gemstone is the most crucial moment, so it is necessary to correctly identify it.

Care

Favorable time to buy

Mystical topaz manifests its abilities in different ways, depending on the phase of the moon or the day of the week.

We recommend: GREEN TOURMALINE - the magic of nature

Esoteric practitioners believe that the best time to buy is Sunday, especially during the new moon, when the Moon is in its first phase.

How to spot a fake

A true mystic is determined by the same rules as natural topaz:

• First of all, you should pay attention to the weight - the mineral has a high density and will be heavier than a lighter gem of the same size;
• If you rub the mineral with a thick cloth, it will quickly become electrified;
• The hardness of the stone indicates authenticity - it cannot be scratched by a less hard stone, such as quartz.

Authentication

How to wear and care

The beauty and brilliance of a gem is vulnerable, so you need to know the rules for caring for it.

1. Mystic Topaz fades easily in the sun, so keep it away from sunlight at all costs.
2. Salt water can damage the structure of the crystal, so it is not advisable to take the jewelry with you to the beach.
3. You should not carry out cleaning yourself - it is better to entrust it to a specialist.

Cut

These simple rules will allow you to preserve the gem for a long time.

Compatible with other stones and metals

• Mystic topaz looks most impressive in an expensive gold frame.
• Because this precious alloy makes it easier for the gem to be damaged, jewelers usually use silver.
• When properly processed, a silver ring with a mystic looks stunning.
• Topaz does not conflict with other gemstones.
• Some more faded minerals (such as quartz, tourmaline) highlight the beauty of the mystic: against their background, the rainbow gem looks even brighter.

How to wear and care

Caring for the “mystic” topaz stone and the principles of wearing it should be special.

To ensure the safety of the “Mystic” topaz stone, you must follow the basic rules:

1. Avoid overheating the mineral and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Firstly, the bright sun discolors the iris of the stone. Secondly, when heated, the gem emits a gas, the unpleasant odor of which is similar to the amber of rotten eggs. And although it is barely noticeable, it is still not worth the risk.
2. Do not expose the mineral to contact with cosmetics. Perfumes, creams, lotions contain components that can have a detrimental effect not only on topaz, but also on the metal framing it.
3. Avoid contact of the gem with water.
4. Only professionals should clean, polish and grind stone. It is better to take the jewelry to a workshop at a jewelry store for cleaning.

Although “mystic” topaz is included in the category of artificial stones, its basis is still natural colorless topaz.

Therefore, you need to be careful about the energy of the mineral and not carry it with malice in your soul. Otherwise, the mineral will show its unsightly side of impact on the emotional state of the owner of the jewelry.

Caring for a Mystical Gem

There are several rules that must be followed from the first days of purchase. To preserve the original appearance of the stone for as long as possible, you need to handle it carefully.

Owners need to know that such decorations, under prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, immediately lose their color saturation. It is better to wear it in the evening and store it in a closed, dark place.

During water procedures, it is better to remove jewelry with this mineral. Also, mystic topaz does not like temperature changes; they can spoil the original characteristics of the product.

To clean the stone from dirt and dust, you need to carefully wash it under a thin stream of running water. No detergents should be used. You need to dry the product naturally; you can only blot it lightly with a paper napkin. Read how to clean other types of topaz at home →

If you follow a number of these simple rules, you will get high-quality and beautiful jewelry that will last for a long time.

Favorable time to buy mystic topaz

Do not neglect the recommendations regarding the day of purchase of jewelry with gems. Each mineral is influenced by the phases of the moon and certain days of the week, on which it generates strong energy.

So, the ideal day to buy topaz is Sunday. In this case, it is important that the Moon is in the first phase, that is, during the period from the new moon (when the planet is not yet visible) until the formation of the thin month of the waxing Moon and then until half of its illumination.

During this period, the power of the stone is ready to absorb the energy of its owner. This means that you will become close to the gem.

It is worth remembering that semi-precious minerals come into contact with the owner. Therefore, it is important to listen to your feelings when buying. Perhaps a large topaz will reject you, while a more modest gem will respond with warmth in the palm of your hand, and vice versa. Of course, your mineral is the one with which you feel calm and harmonious.
